Elysian Fields

On Saturday, 3 October at 4.00pm Jan Gunnar Hoff will illuminate the Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House in Northern Lands with solo piano plus intimate duos alongside viola da gambist Jenny Eriksson. The Utzon Room program features Hoff’s signature composition Fly North, a jazz interpretation of the Beach Boys’ God Only Knows and Barndomsminne fra Nordland, a traditional song deeply connected to Norwegian cultural identity. Duos with Jenny Eriksson include Hoff’s Living and Vaapstenjeanoe (Big River) along with a new arrangement of the Scottish Australian folk song, Johnny Faa.
